Our Printmaking Workshop is just around the corner

Well the Holiday Card Printmaking Workshop is this Sunday. Susan and I have collected all the supplies. We are going to make a couple of prints this week just so we'll be on the same page with the instructions and any possible printing issues.

Artist Made Holiday Cards

Halloween has pasted and even though Thanksgiving is still a few weeks away I feel it is safe to say that I have already designed and test printed this years holiday card. Don't get me wrong, Thanksgiving is my most favorite holiday, but making Christmas cards is a Smith tradition that goes back 56 years. And this year Susan Giller and I will be teaching a workshop at the Creative Arts Center on hand made holiday cards using a quick and simple block printing method. For more info you can go to the CAC web site.

Designs for this years Holiday Card

The Smith family has a tradition of making holiday cards which was started by my parents while attending OU way back in 1946. Over the last 56 years at least one person in the Smith family has maintained this tradition. Last year, I regrettable did not make a card, but this year I am going to make up for it by teaching a workshop with my friend and fellow artist Susan Giller at the Creative Arts Center. The workshop will focus on a quick and easy block printing method. I'll blog more about it later. Above is a sketch of this years card.
